fafsa calendar information

Beginning on Oct. 1, 2016, students will be able to fill out the FAFSA for the 2017–18 school year. (In the past, they had to wait until January 1). In addition, applicants will no longer need to estimate income and tax information and will be able to retrieve their data directly from the IRS, right from the first day the FAFSA is available. Students also will have information about their Expected Family Contributions earlier, helping them as they’re going through the college application and selection process.

Education in Crisis: Afghanistan

December 9, 2021

Free Webinar | 1:00-2:00 pm ET

The events of 2021 brought Afghanistan into the forefront of the world's attention as we watched twenty years of social progress disintegrate within a month's time. This webinar will provide institutions with the historical knowledge of the education system of Afghanistan in order to provide context for the current crisis, followed by an overview of best practices in international credential evaluation for admissions. Presenters will then discuss the events of 2021 that created the crisis, and how these events and the following crisis has impacted higher education. The session will conclude with best practices in evaluation of international credentials for displaced populations and how implementing holistic and equitable admissions practices can assist in supporting access to higher education for those Afghani students who have been displaced.
